thus i conclude the brrompton to be 3 times the P/W ratio of the non motorised, sorry to bring out the maths out (force of habit being engineer)
. obviously its not that simple, but intresting to consider nonetheless?
Ok true, but I'm sure you can build a full motorcycle with an even "better" power to weight ratio. And for what? To put yourself and those around you in more danger?
I think Einstein had it right when he said "a perfection of means and a confusion of aims seems to be our main problem".
